Summary: A disappointment
Review: I don't find the actions of either side to be those of individuals of the intelligence they are portrayed as having. Furthermore, his blatant disregard for the realities of armor in the protection offered by his BERP are a continuing disruption to the reader whose sees it's impossibility. Even if it works as described, he would have died at least twice.

Summary: Mr. Brown, go back to writing about flying and dying.
Review: I've really enjoyed Dale Brown's previous books but this one is not in the same category. He used the same names as those of characters in previous books but they weren't the same people. I was really disappointed in it.

Summary: A Wannabe trying very hard in other genre
Review: I found this novel quite repulsive and tasteless. There is no need to detail the process of making drugs unless you're blindly grasping the faith of freedom of speech. Making an announcement in the very beginning advising readers not trying to make the deadly drug, but almost provided the necessary ingredients, piles of raw materials copied from his narcotic retiree wife, adding more stereotyped but on the other hand, highly unlikely plot and scenario derived and misinterpretated from some current news or some whimsical ideas provided by some wannabe writers from the readers through the emails, have become a pathetic mode of Brown's recent books. Even worse, some totally unbelievable hero obviously originated and combined from some comic and sci-fi books--the rocketeer+shadow(or ghost?)+spiderman+whatever you name it. Not quite a good way to bind up a so-called thriller.

Summary: A disappointment!
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. The beginning of the story is intriguing, with some character development. However, as the book progresses I have the impression that Dale Brown's publisher called to say he had two days to finish the remainder of the book. The last half is vague, undefined, and sans characters that you can clearly envision or care about.

Summary: The best Military thriller of the decade!
Review: Certainly one of Brown's finest books. I couldn't put it down. I loved this book, because, well the reasons are to numerous to list them all! Patrick Mclanahan is back, and on the warpath agian, this time he's out for revenge. It's hard to figure out the ending until the whole plot unwinds, what a thriller!

Summary: Hybrid between Die Hard and Robocop, not Dale Brown material
Review: This is different from his other books. There a bit of everything, even sex and romance!! He can do better.

Summary: Robocop is now believeable!!
Review: Having recently become a fan of Mr. Brown's work (Fatal Terrain was the first title of his that I read, and I have since read all but two of his books), I was eagerly looking forward to the newest tale involving Patrick Mc Lanahan.Dale writes extremely well, keeping his characters real within the genre (recommended suspension of disbeleief included), and you want to care about them, even the not-so-nice characters (like from Flight of the Old Dog). I read this book in one sitting in approximately three hours, and will read it again in approximately 3 months. Dale is proving himself to be worthy competition for the likes of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler. Enjoy!!

Summary: A fine continuation of the Patrick McLanahan Saga..
Review: I found this book to be a refreshing push from pure technology with character development to character development with a liberal sprinking of technology. Again we have Patrick McLanahan involved quite quickly after his "Fatal Terrain" exploits involved in a "down-to-earth" adventure that introduces family and other character development to the series. Although BERP is new and presents a rather interesting twist on body armor, the story reminded me very much of Tom Clancy's "Without Remorse" storyline of Mr. Kelly's background. Since I heartily enjoy following characters such as McLanahan, I found this to be a refreshing way of filling in some gaps about his character (family, background, baby, etc.) that wasn't handled elsewhere. Keep up the good work, Dale!

Summary: Not up to authors usual standards.
Review: This book was very disappointing to me in its lack of depth and vague plot machinations. I am used to a much higher standard being met by this author. If he is not going to do his homework, I would suggest that he stick to B52's and the Air Force. He obviously knows enough about those subjects to be convincing. The "authors name" sold me this one but I will definitely look closer at his future offerings.

Summary: A excellent book on the every day of narcotics and cops
Review: With the exception of the "BERP" idea, although it is entertaining, Mr.Brown has a very interesting look into the law enforcement world of narcotics, motorcycle gangs, drug labs, and the political and administrative world of police work that the line officer lives and hates but likes to read about. The reference of police work akin to the military is completely true and shows how more cooperation between the two could put a dent in the drug problem and help in the "combat" against it. Mr. Brown deserves high praise.
